Things to do in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is a vibrant, pulsing gathering of diverse groups of people, all living in an area known for its great quality of life and many things to do. Whether it's theater, shopping, outdoor recreation, dining, or museums, Minneapolis has the best of it.

Minneapolis is known as "The City of Lakes." Famous for its beautiful chain of lakes and annual summertime Aquatennial festival, the city also boasts a thriving downtown with a world-class theater district and shopping at Nicollet Mall, the bustling shopping corridor that runs parallel to the Hennepin Avenue theater district. From its beginnings as a lumber and grain mill town, Minneapolis has changed into the Crystal City.
